Sims 4 - Le Chant des Sirènes

This is a new version of an old lounge in Brindleton Bay. I liked my previous build (at least the interior), but in-game, I noticed that Sims tended to stay only around the bar, making the building feel very empty. This new version of the lot is much smaller, and it works much better!

I know the interior decor is a bit less original and extravagant, but I’m fine with that. Nowadays, I place much more importance on making the lots functional—that’s been my main priority in my recent renovations.

Location: Brindleton Bay (Whiskerman’s Wharf), Club Calico.

Sims 4 - Les Bonnes Ondes

And here is a new lot renovation!

This time, my problem wasn’t with the decoration but with the layout: the original bar, “L'Heure du Thé,” was divided into two spaces. However, the Sims tended to congregate around the bar (where there wasn’t much space) and never visited the other room. So, I decided to change that.

As I continued with the renovation, I ended up changing the decoration a lot; it’s much more colorful now! I still like the less saturated color palette I chose for the original, and I’ll have to use it somewhere else. I also added a small stage, a photo booth at the back, and transformed the painting shop into a photo studio.

I hope you will like it!

Sims 4 - Halte des Explorateurs

This bar was one of my oldest builds still present in my save. Initially, I just planned to update the decor, especially using content from the Cozy Bistro kit, but… I ended up changing its location to move it by the roadside, and I rebuilt it from scratch!

I am really satisfied with the result; I think this place has a very warm atmosphere! I hope your Sims will enjoy it as much as I do. 🍻

Sims 4 - Coup de Foudre

As usual when a new EP is released, the first thing I do is create a small build to test out the new content!

I don’t think I’ll be building other lots in Ciudad Enamorada for now (I’m not even sure I’ll ever finish the renovations I’ve started in other worlds, so…), but if you need a charming little house for a single Sim, you can at least enjoy this creation.

Sims 4 - Accalmie

A long time ago, I decided to create a house inspired by the one from My Neighbor Totoro in Sulani. But that was long before the release of Snowy Escape, so I had to make it without any japanese building elements.

A few years later, I finally reworked this build to place it in Mt. Komorebi! Of course, the location isn’t the only change, I modified the layout and architecture, as well as the furnishings. My way of building and decorating houses has changed a lot since then!

I hope you will like it! 🌼

Sims 4 - Refuge de l'Aube

Sorry for the absence, I have to admit that given the state of the game at the end of the previous year and the beginning of this year, with updates taking a long time to come, I was not very motivated to continue building. Also, I can’t promise that I’m really back, I just felt like continuing with my renovations a little these past few days!

As I recently (well, at least three months ago!) posted two new constructions for Mt Komorebi town center, I decided to continue renovating my old lots in this area. But when I started working on this house, I realized it would be better to start over from scratch (…it was a very old lot that I had barely modified to integrate it into the new world upon the release of Snowy Escape). The decoration is less colorful than in the original, but it’s intentional. It fits much better with the tastes of the family who lives here (the Vaillet family, whom you can download here).

By the way, I also renovated another house recently, Murs d'Albâtre, but nothing as drastic as with this construction, that’s why I didn’t make a new post to talk about it!

Sims 4 - Résidence Tuiles Vertes

I don’t plan to continue my renovation of Tomarang, I will not build another lot in this world for now.

I needed a lot that wasn’t too big to test the For Rent package, so I built this tiny residence for Tomarang. These three apartments are really small (but at least they’re well decorated!), and don’t include a bathroom (but there is a shared bathroom).

I’m not sure I’ll be building anything else for this world, at least for the time being, I’ve already got a lot to do to finish renovating the other worlds!

I’m aware that there are some problems in-game when you install a Residential Rental lot, with the lot and unit names. If you encounter this issue, don’t hesitate to click on “Me too” here on support forum.

Sims 4 - Idéal Accessible

A long time ago, I built a fake apartment building in a fake Japanese neighborhood I had created in Windenburg. Over the years, I’ve regularly made changes to this lot, but today, at last, it’s perfectly functional!

This building contains four units, one of them for a single sims or a couple, the other three perfect for small families. And if you need more space to organize a small get-together with your neighbors, the rooftop is the ideal place for this!

Sims 4 - Comptoir des Travailleurs

This bar was previously attached to an apartment building that I decided to make functional (I’ll share it with you soon!), so I moved it onto a separate lot.

It’s the perfect place to relax after a long day at work, or just to meet up with friends for a good time!

Thank you to the EA Creator Network for providing the kits!

It’s time for a quick review of the last two kits!

I don’t have much to say about the Poolside Splash kit, I guess it’s nice to have more swimwear options, and most of the items look good (except for the sunglasses maybe, but I have an issue with glasses in general in this game, the proportions and placement always feel a bit off). I don’t use pools a lot personally, so if it’s the same for you, this kit is clearly not essential.

Now, about the Modern Luxe kit. This kit includes some very basic elements that I could see myself using everywhere, like these perfect modular curtains, the small record player, or the cushion that can be used on sofas with moveobjects (I’ve tested a bit, the sofas remain functional). But because they’re part of a kit with a very specific style, they have a very limited selection of swatches. I’m talking about the curtain, for example: if I don’t want a gold curtain rod, I only have… 3 swatches available. That’s why I’m a little frustrated that they’ve included them here, and not in a patch, or in a larger pack with a more basic style. Hopefully we’ll get more of these at some point, with more color options. Speaking of styling, although it’s not really my thing (but that’s only a matter of personal taste), everything looks great (but once again, I wish there was more color options, without the gold), but the items from the Vintage Glamour SP and the Get Famous EP have a similar vibe. At last, these new items look much better proportioned, and I can see myself using most of the decorative items.

And that’s all for me!

Townies - Pack H (for Horses)

Are you a young adult who just moved to Chestnut Ridge and are looking for love? I’m here to help!

When I started playing in the world added by the Horse Ranch Pack, I noticed that there weren’t really any sims available to date. These 8 single sims already have some nice outfits (three in the everyday category), skills, likes and dislikes, additional traits, lifestyles and more! And I’ve also created a horse (with skills) for each of them.

And as they have a horse, they’re more likely to appear at Chestnut Ridge with their mounts! I’ve split these sims into two households because it was more practical to share them, but if you want to see them riding their own horse (and not a random horse in their household), I encourage you to split these households, leaving each sim with just their horse.

Feel free to imagine your own stories with these sims (and their horses)!

If you don’t have any inspiration, look at all the info in the Simology panel, or at their skills, it might give you some ideas! But if you don’t want to play with them, and just want to have new townies to meet in the street or on community lot, you can simply install them on an empty lot and then evict them immediately.

And if you want more sims, download my Townies Packs (Part A, Part B, Part C, Occults and Essential NPCs ), or my Families Packs (Part I, Part II and Part III).

Thank you to the EA Creator Network for providing the pack!

So. As you can see, I played with the Horse Ranch EP a bit.

My opinion is pretty similar to most people’s (and pretty similar to my opinion of most packs over the last few years): yes, it’s pretty, but it’s a bit empty in terms of gameplay. For me, there are too few new features, too many things takes place in rabbit holes, and apart from animals and nectar making, there are hardly any items with new interactions. In just a few hours of play, I already feel like I’ve seen everything the pack has to offer.

And yes, obviously, the new objects look good (with great wood textures), Chestnut Ridge is really detailed (but so lifeless, the town centre with all those fake buildings feels like a ghost town), and the interactions with the animals are cute… but is that enough?

I can’t say I didn’t have fun during the short time I tested the Horse Ranch pack in live mode with Rayane, or when I created the builds I shared with you these last few days. And I know that the people who worked on this pack did their best with the resources they had to deliver a great experience (I’d never question that). But at the end, I clearly can’t recommend buying it at full price.

Voilà, that’s all for me. I also feels like I need to take a little break now, so I may be a bit quiet for a while (I may share some sims before leaving, but I’m not sure yet!). Anyway, have fun everyone!

Sims 4 - Au Dada Dansant

When I saw this barn built by ChrissieYT in the town centre of Chestnut Ridge, I thought I’d like to keep it in my save, but with a few changes.

As I didn’t plan to use this part of the world (it looks like a ghost town, I hate all those fake buildings), I moved this dance hall elsewhere, and… added way too many decor items and clutters! I’ve also included many types of games, so your sims should have plenty of fun!

Sims 4 - Au Cœur des Vignes

Yes, as you can see, I’ve already completely given up on the idea of creating ranch houses!

This lot is also one of my old Henford-on-Bagley builds, which I’ve decided to move here. I’ve added a small outbuilding, with all the stuff you need to make nectar and store it.

Sims 4 - Charmant Cottage

Yes, I know, it’s not really a new house!

But as I don’t intend to continue my renovation of Henford-on-Bagley, I’ve decided to move the lots built there to Chestnut Ridge! I haven’t made many changes inside, but I have added a small stable if you want to adopt a horse.

Oh and by the way, I also updated some other lots I shared recently with new ceilings, when it was necessary!
